Healthcare Direct Hire

Recruit a healthcare professional your facility will employ directly

We identify and evaluate candidates for permanent RN and PT opportunities; your facility selects and employs the professional.

We charge no retainer. Our placement fee is due only when you hire, and our client agreement includes a 90-day replacement provision.

Direct employment

Your role. Your offer. Your employee.

We support the search and candidate evaluation. The facility controls the hiring decision, employment offer, onboarding, supervision, and ongoing relationship.

The process

How Direct Hire works

1

Build the role profile

Profession, license, specialty, setting, schedule, location, compensation, experience, and start expectations.

2

Confirm search fit

We evaluate whether the role, market, offer, and timeline support a responsible search.

3

Source and evaluate

We identify potential candidates and evaluate them against the agreed role requirements.

4

Interview and offer

The facility interviews selected candidates and controls the employment decision and offer.

5

Hire and onboard

The selected professional joins the facility, with any applicable replacement support governed by the client contract.

A strong use case

When Direct Hire may fit

  • A permanent RN or PT vacancy
  • A clear role and competitive employment offer
  • A facility ready to interview and decide promptly
  • A preference to employ the professional directly
  • A need to reach a wider, actively recruited candidate pool

Search readiness matters

Compensation, location, schedule, experience requirements, licensing, interview speed, and the reason a qualified candidate should join the facility all affect recruiting outcomes.
